Chapter 782： Relocate

Many people wonder, why should the profitable NFL "treat" its players?

This is firstly related to the average output value of NFL players. There are 32 teams in the NFL league. Each team has approximately 60 registered players, and the total number of players has reached 1950.

This number is already four times the number of NBA players. In addition, NFL teams only play 16 games in the regular season, which is far less than the number of NBA games. Fewer games means lower income.

It can be seen that there are a lot more NFL players than NBA, and the number of games is still pitiful. Even if the NFL's total season revenue is more than twice that of the NBA, on average, the output value of each NFL player is less than that of an NBA player. This is the main reason why players' salaries are relatively lagging behind in the well-paid NFL.

In addition, the NFL has implemented a "hard salary cap" system since 1994, strictly setting the upper limit of the total salary of each team player.

This is significantly different from the NBA’s soft salary cap. The NBA’s rule is that the total salary of an NBA team can exceed the salary cap as long as the third-party escrow salary or the boss pays the luxury tax. This method is not subject to the NFL. Allowed.

So a simple calculation can be made. Under such a salary cap system, the NFL this year is about 60 people with 130 million U.S. dollars, while the NBA is about 13 people with 90 million U.S. dollars. In contrast, the gap between the two is even more obvious. Up.

Of course, compared with other professional fields, the income of rugby players can already stand at the top of the pyramid. Not to mention ordinary white-collar workers, most of the elites on Wall Street wearing suits cannot match the income of rugby players.

If the job can last for a long time, naturally it won’t lead to too much controversy, but the crux of the problem is that the income is not long. Everyone eats youth meals. Injuries and illnesses are the important incentives that often lead to unsatisfactory income. .

New York Giants wide receiver Odell Beckham often complains through social platforms or the media. He said: "I know that basketball players play 80 games, more baseball games, and football.

However, football is the most watched in the United States, and it is also the most frequently injured and the most serious.

Therefore, the players have a short career, and they are injured when they leave the court. However, the contract provided by the league lacks guarantees, so that the players may stay in the league for three or four years and have to think about how to spend the rest of their lives. "

Undoubtedly, O’Dell Beckham’s remarks represent the aspirations of most NFL players. The general public opinion is: Although the low NFL income distribution has its objective factors, it is time to appease the players. This is the most profitable North America. Professional leagues have to take a long-term view.

But Roger Goodall obviously doesn’t think so. If the entire NFL is regarded as a large company, these players are the employees of the company. The purpose of their existence is to create more profits for the company. The company has already paid far more than the national average salary. After the level of treatment, you should not ask for more.

In his view, the core of a rugby team is the quarters. At most, running backs or close ends and wide receivers are added. As long as the star players in these positions are guaranteed to get enough benefits, the sport will There has been.

It is important to know that most of the players involved in this sport are from slums, and their income is now enough to get them out of the dark underground world. As long as they don’t spend money, they can fully repay them for a happy life, and now they want more. Too much money is completely insatiable.

The most important thing is that Roger Goodall knows how to operate. If a football player lives as long as a football or basketball player, then the sport will not be able to maintain its popularity.

Why is rugby popular? It is the muscle collision between remote mobilization that can completely ignite the war factor in the hearts of fans, and they are willing to spend more money to pay attention to this sport. If the essence of this sport is lost in order to protect the health of the players, the NFL will also There is no need for it.

Yang Cheng himself is playing capital, so he can guess what Roger Goodall is thinking with his butt, don't talk about cold-blooded right or wrong, only children tell right or wrong, adults only talk about benefits.

But now, it is in Yang Cheng’s interest to win the Carolina Panthers. For this reason, he doesn’t mind hypocritically saying something against his will, “I think the current operating system is very good, and there is no need to change it. The boss’s money is not What fell from the sky is impossible to invest unscrupulously, and everything must be balanced. Breaking the balance will cost you. I don’t want that person to be me.”

Roger Goodall smiled very happily. He felt that Yang Cheng and him were similar people, so the conversation would be much more enjoyable.

"Jason, it seems that you are fully prepared. I don't think I have any objections here. As long as your bid beats other bidders, the Carolina Panthers will be yours."

Immediately afterwards, he pretended to be helpless and added, "Look at me, I don't have a good memory when I am old. I should be called the Los Angeles Panthers."

Yang Cheng raised his head and laughed, got up and shook hands solemnly with Roger Goodall. He got the promise he wanted. As long as his bid overwhelmed others, the alliance would not obstruct any effort, and even help Yang Cheng complete it. The relocation of the team.

"Thank you Roger. Of course, I know that the Panthers move will break the balance of 16 teams in each of the two leagues. If UU reading causes economic losses to the league, I am willing to do something. make up."

Yang Cheng just said politely. Roger Goodall naturally wouldn't take it seriously and waved his hand. "You don't have to worry. The purpose of the headquarters is to coordinate the relationship between the game and the teams. This is our own job."

There will also be small **** in the league. They are the unlucky ones who receive the spread of benefits. No one cares about their grievances. Roger Goodall won't, and Yang Cheng won't. Want revenge? Although it's good to come, I angered the little master, and directly signed a check to dig out your core to see what revenge you could take.

"By the way, Jason, you'd better decide as soon as possible regarding the stadium issues and attendance issues. I don't want the relocation to be completed by then, and no one will be there to watch the game."

Roger Goodell solemnly reminded that although he had completed a tacit exchange with Yang Cheng, he had to be more truthful when it came to the fundamental issue of league income.

Yang Cheng also focused on her head, "I will send someone to contact the venue when I go back, and start arranging people to promote it. I am not too worried about the other bidders, mainly David Taber. If he really works hard, it may affect the game. The team is preparing for the new season, so if you can, I hope Roger will personally persuade him to either give up this acquisition or cooperate with me to become the second shareholder of the Los Angeles Panthers, better than being a minority shareholder in Pittsburgh. Much stronger, right?"
